Watercolor lessons from her father, well-known tennis pro Barney Chadwick, cultivated her love for painting at an early age. This enjoyment of creating later motivated her to study art. She attended the University of Mississippi where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in oil painting. She is moved by nature’s color, movement, and beauty. This inspiration has only grown upon moving to Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 2009.
